Noticeboard

Due to Coronavirus, Lancaster Medical Practice is continuing to screen ALL requests for appointments. It is important that you answer all questions honestly and accurately to ensure we provide you with the correct advice and treatment, and to protect our staff and other patients.

We have temporarily switched off some of our online booking facilities. Appointments can be made by telephoning the practice. Alternatively, there are a limited number of telephone call back slots available to book through the myGP app. Booking into one of these slots will trigger a call-back from our Reception Team. Please note the call-back is NOT at a specific time.

Patients can book these appointments via their practice receptionist as usual. To obtain an appointment outside practice opening hours, call your normal practice number and your call will be diverted to the Extended Access Service.

Only patients who have a pre-booked appointment will be given access to the practice to see the Clinician.

When We Are Closed

If you need to see a Doctor when the surgery is closed please telephone 111

During the out of hours period call NHS 111 for assessment and advice. If your condition requires further treatment they will identify the most appropriate local service to meet your need and either direct you to the service or pass your assessment details directly on to it. This includes the local GP Out of Hours Service, Bay Urgent Care.

Out-of-hours services are generally busy so please think carefully before asking to see a doctor and only do so if you genuinely cannot wait until the surgery re-opens.

In a genuine emergency you should call 999. Chest pains and / or shortness of breath constitute an emergency.
